This is the standard MkIII* .303 SMLE rifle manufactured
by the RSAF Enfield in 1918

This rifle has neen renumbered at some point, the original
numbers are barred out and has been re-numbered to I21168.

The last FF marked SMLE I had was nearly identical to
this one with a rebarrel date 1938 & also renumbered

As war was looming the large store of war reserve stocks
were being prepared, this example is typical of the programmes in 1938/39
where many were rebarreled. This rifle was rebarreled in 1938 as marked
on the left side of the barrel.

This is a nice standard MkIII* SMLE and the icing on the
cake is the FF marks denoting Irish ownership.
